Sometimes to see you have to close your eyes

Sometimes, to be able to see, you have to close your eyes and turn on your heart. It is then that we will be able to discover what is important, what counts, what is not false. Because only when our inner vision is opened and our soul is pleased, does the horizon broaden and new possibilities arise.

As neurologists explain to us, we generate about 50,000 thoughts a day. However, most of them are mechanical and repetitive. Something to also keep in mind is that due to “hyperinformation”, new technologies or the demands of our environments, we suffer more and more from mental fatigue. We are so focused on the exterior that we have completely neglected the interior.

Sometimes we let ourselves be carried away by this train of obsessive and debilitating thoughts to the point of disengaging from our priorities. We no longer know how to listen to ourselves. We have focused our eyes so intensely outward that now, we feel almost like emotional myopes in search of the glasses of happiness.

We suggest you reflect on it.

When the eyes get tired of looking and mental noise appears

Our mind, whether we believe it or not, is very prone to internal conflicts. The reason for this is because the brain’s vital need is to continually adapt to contexts and to each stimulus we receive. The pressure of work, family problems, our aspirations, our social relationships… There are always doubts to resolve, anxieties to calm, voids to fill and “fires” to put out.

Mental noise can become incessant and unforgiving. This is when the imprint of stress appears in the brain and our eyes simply lose direction and direction. They forget to rest in the inner book of our needs, in the lines of our consciousness and introspection to see what is really important.

Something curious that indicates that If we experience long periods dominated by stress and anxiety, the amygdala, that area of ​​the brain associated with fear and emotion, shrinks.. This change in its structure will directly affect the prefrontal cortex, which is in turn associated with higher brain functions such as consciousness, concentration or decision making.

This explains why when we go through those complex moments dominated by worry, stress or annoying mental noise, it is so difficult for us to connect with ourselves. We have broken that invisible link with our consciousness due to a small change in our brain structure.

Now, we cannot forget the power of neuroplasticity and our subtle ability to restructure these internal architectures of our consciousness. Thanks to exercises such as meditation, mindfulness or other strategies that we now reveal to you, we can reorient our eyes towards ourselves.

A grateful mind is a rested mind

A grateful mind is a rested mind that will allow us to see what is truly important. It is possible that this phrase sounds somewhat poetic or out of context to you, because… How can I be grateful for something if right now I feel so dissatisfied, so desolate or sad? The first step will obviously be to free ourselves from all internal conflict.

Once we turn off all the emotional battles, that serene energy will emerge that will allow us to be free of external conditioning. We explain how to get it.

Let’s close our eyes so we can see

A first step that we should learn to control is our thinking. We cannot forget that a thought is a direct facilitator of an emotion and this, in turn, is a sculptor that will make us perceive reality in one way or another. So, keep the following in mind:

Close your eyes and be aware that from now on, conditional verb tenses will no longer appear in your thoughts: “if I had been there”, “if I had done that” or “when he tells me he loves me I will be happy”, “when I have that I will feel better”, etc.With my eyes still closed, Promise yourself that you are going to start communicating with yourself in the present tense. “I want”, “I can”, “I am going to…” To close your eyes and be able to see what is important in your life, you must not leave your mind blank.. In addition to being impossible, it is not useful. We must “fertilize” our mind with positive, inspiring and beneficial thoughts.Deliberate and reflect positively. Do not think that by thinking this way we close our eyes to reality or the truth, it is simply about revitalizing the mind and our soul to promote self-confidence, thus breaking the noise of negative or limiting thoughts.

Dare to do it. Dare to close your eyes to be able to see, to turn on the light of your heart and attend to those needs that we sometimes neglect as if they were old toys.
